Don't get me wrong, I love the new Camaro (and will be buying one), but it will NOT handle as well as a 370z. That's just the way it is. The new 370z is one of the best handling cars out there.
Motortrend - Lateral accel 370z (.99 G's)
Road and Track - Lateral accel 370z (.97 G's)
To compare, Road and Track only managed .93 G's when the tested the C6 Vette (01/08 issue). And .99 G's in the Z06 Vette (05/08 issue)
The 370z (Touring) runs 275/35/19 series tires out back and the car only weighs 3350 lbs. That along with its excellent balance makes for a great handling car.
The SS will have an advantage in a straight line, but the 370z will definately have an advantage on a tight road course or in the twisties. But the SS will dominate the 370z when it comes to straight line top end speed.
